The Book Of Mormon at Hollywood Pantages Theatre

Kevin Price and Arnold Cunningham are two coming of age Mormon missionaries tasked with a mission to a native Ugandan village. Their goal is to convert the villagers to their religion, but they realize upon their arrival that their job is more demanding than they had assumed, given the great deal of local issues that the villagers face such as a local warlord, an HIV/AIDS epidemic, and poverty among others. The pair then come to accept that they must employ more unique ways to convert the population than the traditional means that they know.

It is in the pair’s differing ways where the performance of The Book of Mormon excels – allowing the subject matter of religion to be blasphemed and injected with comedy, showtunes, and a bit of crude language, yet still remaining unobjectionable to the general public. Since its debut in 2011, the musical has been received positively despite its manner of challenging religious belief. The church itself supported the musical, buying ads and releasing slogans specifically that stated: “You’ve seen the play, now read the book.” In its West End performances, the repeatedly sold-out shows were prime examples of The Book of Mormon’s success. Theatre goers were already expecting a shock given the content and theme of the play, according to The Guardian, it was even to their surprise that “suddenly you realize you’re in for not just humour but a seriously fine night of entertainment, and it just keeps on getting better.” The musical’s run in Australia met with a similar positive reception, with the Sydney Morning Herald even reviewing that the Book of Mormon is a “dynamite production of a show that can lay fair claim to being the funniest Broadway musical of all time.”

It's no shock that because of the musical's creativity, The Book of Mormon’s several shows globally have earned it nine Tony Awards, four Drama Desk Awards, three Outer Circle Critics awards, four Olivier Awards, and two Helpmann Awards.

This upbeat, happy, and totally comedic musical continues its tour in California. Los Angeles’s greatest theatre venue, Hollywood Pantages Theatre, with its spacious seating capacity, impeccable lighting, and superb sound system will be hosting this February’s performance of The Book of Mormon.
